NO NO NO the boots are junk the secret to a good boot is if you can bend it , I have had 4 pairs of boots:
Akito monzas
Duchinni racers
2xSidi Vertigos
The difference is this the Akito Monzas were junk , to test a boot try and bend the sole downwards if you can the boot is junk , all expensive boots cannot be bent downwards.
Your feet can bend upwards it just dislocates your toes which can be popped back in at the side of the road.... But they cannot bend downwards as it breaks bones and tears muscles and flesh. Hence a cheap boot only really has protection on the shin on the moulded bit of plastic and thats it.
If it is soft on the sides you might as well wear trainers in that boots are supposed to be fairly unmaleble so that if your foot gets crushed the hard bits re-direct the force of the weight, if it REALLY gets crushed it holds your foot sort of like a splint and thus prevents further damage ideally.
